With Data Sprawl on the Rise, Is Your Security Keeping Up?
The modern business environment is a data jungle. From hybrid cloud to Software as a Service (SaaS) apps to edge storage, data sprawls across environments—making unified visibility and control nearly impossible. As a result, traditional security tools are no longer enough.
The explosion in data volume, rising cloud adoption, and AI-powered operations have left organizations vulnerable to compliance violations, data breaches, and operational chaos.
To help you secure your data advantage, Frost & Sullivan unveils a breakthrough study on the Global Data Security Posture Management Industry—your transformational guide to mastering data risk in the age of digital complexity.
Key Insights From the Growth Analysis
- Why Traditional Security Is Failing: Understand how data silos, shadow data, and tool sprawl have outpaced legacy solutions, increasing your organization’s risk surface.
- The Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) Advantage: Explore how data discovery, classification, and real-time risk prioritization help you enforce security policies across all data—on-premises, cloud, SaaS, and AI pipelines.
- Generative AI (GenAI), Real-Time Threats & Compliance: Witness how DSPM is evolving to secure sensitive data powering AI models, while helping you meet emerging regulatory mandates with automated governance.
What’s Driving DSPM’s Rapid Rise?
The need to manage data across fragmented environments is no longer a challenge—it’s a crisis. Frost & Sullivan’s research reveals that:
- Around 64.9% of DSPM market growth in 2024 was driven by the urgency to protect data across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
- BFSI (Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance), technology, and eCommerce sectors are leading in DSPM adoption, driven by sensitive data exposure and intensifying regulatory scrutiny.
- Organizations face tool sprawl and inconsistent data policies, making a consolidated DSPM solution essential for streamlining operations and reducing risks.
DSPM is the answer to growing boardroom pressure to improve data visibility, reduce compliance gaps, and future-proof businesses against modern cyber threats.
| Region | Industry Characteristics |
|---|---|
| North America | Most mature; driven by state-level data privacy laws and early technology adoption |
| EMEA | Strong demand due to General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), EU AI Act; growth affected by geopolitical conflicts |
| Asia-Pacific | Mixed maturity; growth driven by new regulations in India, Singapore, and Australia |
| Latin America | Least mature; growth led by Brazil and Mexico due to GDPR-like data privacy laws |
*North America (NA) holds 75.5% of DSPM market revenue in 2024, with EMEA (Europe, the Middle East and Africa) and Asia-Pacific (APAC) catching up due to regulatory shifts.
